CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga — An American and his companion, who were believed to be leaders and financiers of a cybersex syndicate were arrested by policemen last Monday night when four girls were rescued on Bayabas St., Dau Homesite, Mabalacat, Pampanga.


In a report to Chief Supt. Errol T. Pan, newly designated police regional director of Central Luzon, Supt. Oscar Albayalde, chief of the Regional Intelligence division (RID), stated that RID personnel, led by Senior Inspector Romeo Castro, Mabalacat policemen and personnel of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, raided the cybersex den said to be maintained by an unidentified American and his Filipino companion.

The raid was conducted after Judge Philbert Ituralde of the Regional Trial Court here issued a search warrant following complaints by residents in the area who said that the house is a cybersex den victimizing unsuspecting young women.

Colonel Albayalde said the raid resulted in the arrest of two men and the rescue of four girls, one of them a minor.

The police, however did not reveal the names of the suspects pending the filing of a case with the court, saying only that they were American and a Filipino Informatic technician.

Informed of the busting of the syndicate, General Pan said he will immediately order the filing of the case against the suspects. Pan showed to newsmen the confiscated cybersex machine and computers to newsmen.
